“ But Karen, my spouse (or partner) is shy and does not like their photos taken; they might not want to cooperate during the photoshoot” customers have said…

Don’t worry, I got you!

I have worked with several customers during my career as a photographer that did not enjoy having their photos taken. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate shoot or a family photoshoot - it’s more common than you think!!

Luckily you’re working with me :) I’m genuinely happy to work with you. What can I say I love people - connecting with them is my superpower! My job is to set the environment and photoshoot to be as fun and inviting as possible. I have an outgoing personality and I’ve been told to be warm and sweet which translates into my ability to connect with people in my everyday life and most importantly during my photoshoots.

One of the things I like to do prior to the photoshoot is to meet. To have a chance to shake hands and be there to answer any questions. Event a quick call to go over some of the details goes a long way. During the photoshoot, I communicate with my guests and guide them through poses which helps them to relax and be more open to the experience. My personally is very playful which helps to relieve some of the stress surrounding our nervous models :)

Here's a shot I took of Shaniel & Shavare's wedding, Shavare was my shy Groom but I'm sure you can agree he's looking quite handsome and relaxed. I managed to take a few of him smiling or just enjoying his special day with his beautiful bride.
